en.Wedoany.com Reported - The Jebel Ali Palm is a key development project in Dubai, designed in the shape of a giant palm tree, featuring a central trunk and sixteen fronds. The project is part of the Dubai 2040 Urban Master Plan, aiming to build a large interconnected community and increase waterfront residential and leisure spaces.
Jan De Nul stated: "We have been continuing the development of this archipelago since 2024, having initiated its construction between 2002 and 2008. We are completing the final palm fronds and the crown, which are protected by a crescent-shaped breakwater. We are carrying out this work on behalf of real estate developer Nakheel (a company under Dubai Holding Real Estate)."
The company further explained: "After shaping the crown and the palm fronds, we began the construction of the beaches. Over a stretch of 64 kilometers—equivalent to the entire Belgian coastline—we precisely profiled the shoreline. We first removed silt deposits, then replenished the beaches with new sand to form a stable and high-quality coastal strip. In the final phase, we will carry out ground improvement works to make the site ready for construction. In this way, the island is being transformed into a livable and iconic extension of Dubai."
The early construction phase of the archipelago began in 2002 but was temporarily suspended due to economic fluctuations. After restarting in 2024, the project entered an accelerated phase. Currently, the construction team is completing the final palm fronds and the crown, areas protected by a crescent-shaped breakwater to withstand the marine environment. The beach laying work covers a 64-kilometer coastline, a length comparable to the entire coastline of Belgium. The scope of work includes removing silt, replenishing new sand to form a stable beach surface, and subsequent ground improvement operations. The entire project is expected to be completed by the autumn of 2026.
